Finally it is time for LITHUANIA. Unfortunately we did not have a big choice as only one of their songs have been covered in South Africa. Itnis their 2005 entry LITTLE BY LITTLE by LAURA AND THE LOVERS. The Afrikaans cover is done by JENNIFER ZAMUDIO.
Monika Linkytė & Vaidas Baumila will sing This Time for Lithuania
After several weeks of selection shows Lithuania have finally decided on the winning combination to send to Vienna. They have chosen a duet between Monika Linkytė and Vaidas Baumila. Together they will sing the chosen song This Time.
The international and national jury and televoting decided tonight’s result. The three finalists performed songs that they chose themselves –
- Mia – Dangerous
- Monika Linkytė & Vaidas Baumila – Saulės Pėdomis
- Mia – Take A Look At Me Now
- Monika Linkytė & Vaidas Baumil – Tiktai Tu
The writer of This Time, as well as many fans, liked the idea of Monika and Vaidas performing as a duet.
Then Mia and Monika & Vaidas (as a duet) performed This Time.
The interval act included the Swiss Eurovision representative, Mélanie René, performing her song Time To Shine.
So it will be Monika Linkytė and Vaidas Baumila who will fly the Lithuanian flag in Austria with This Time.
